Typically some of the compound or spray and old metal particles will come off on the knife blade, so unless there was too much applied to begin with or it is charged with too much before you strop there shouldn't be an issue with build-up or anything. It isn't like a stone where the pores can get clogged up as you are adding the grit to your chosen media instead of the media being composed of the grit, and you actually want it to get the compound/spray into the pores. Personally I like a smooth, broken-in strop so I don't really ever clean any of mine, plus I'm not sure how you would clean balsa without damaging it somehow. I have seen some people clean a leather strop before to get the nap back if they were using the rough side, but again, I likes 'em smooth. lol
